It was the last night of the business trip tomorrow morning everyone would be leaving

Harry came and renewed every contract with little to no negotiation

Niall was down one contract but wasn't too upset about the loss, it was only a matter of time until a new company reached out to him to fill that slot

Tonight there was a big dinner for all the CEOs so of course Harry was bringing Alexis and Niall didn't see why he wouldn't bring his daughter

Harry was sitting on the sofa waiting for Alexis to finish getting ready "Mr.Styles!" he turned to the bedroom door she was peeking out from

"Yes?"

"Can you zip me please?"

He stood and walked over she opened the door turning he gathered her hair and laid it over her shoulder He couldn't help but notice the tag as he clasped the little hook at the top this dress wasn't any kind of notable brand and judging by the black ink slash through the name that was on the tag he figured this was a dress she found on sale he zipped it

She turned it was a simple shapeless blue dress with black lace on her sides that made the shadow of an hour glass figure it was sleeveless with a small v-neck

She deserved to be in much nicer clothes than this "what happened to the money I gave you for clothes?" he tried not to sound like an a*shole but he hoped she got something better than this with the rest of it

She frowned "you don't like the dress?"

"It's very plain this is everyday office attire" he then stopped himself "you should be wearing something much nicer like Chanel or... or really anything but this" he pulled at a piece of cheaply made lace

"Well I won't lie to you I actually bought new undergarments like a few comfortable bras that actually fit and some nice underwear"

That made him feel a lot better he'd rather her have that than a nice dress if he had to make a choice "mm I think I'll start buying you new clothes then" he mumbled

She furrowed her eyebrows "what? no It's alright I don't need-"

"No you don't need it but don't you want nice things?" He cocked an eyebrow

"I do but there's nothing wrong with what I have either"

"No and I'm not saying there is, what I'm saying is I want to see you in designer clothes so I am going to buy them for you" he tilted his head "not to be rude but your appearance represents me as much as it does you"

That came out horribly wrong

Alexis crossed her arms "I'm sorry but most of the money I make goes to medical bills my father left behind I don't have the time, energy, or money to waste on expensive clothing I think the things I find on sale are nice and represent us just fine"

He needed to do damage control "that came out completely wrong" he started then just gave up on all pretenses "I think you're very beautiful and I only want you in clothes that match that beauty this dress is... wearable there is nothing wrong with it but I want to see you in silk I want to see you in glittering floor length gowns on occasion..." he sighed heavily looking down at the boxy dress she had on "Id say this dinner is  an occasion that would call for an expensive form fitting designer dress not only because it represents us nicely but because I want to see it"

He then added "you are very beautiful and sweet so you deserve those elegant things"

Alexis was at a loss for words she didn't know how to feel finally she just blurted "like a sugar baby?"

He huffed a laugh slipping his finger in her necklace tugging lightly to straighten it out "sure" he answered she blushed deeply he noticed and smirked ,a real full on smirk, "I just want you to look like a rich man's wife" he took his hand back from the necklace

A rich man's wife... she looked down at herself she certainly didn't look like a rich man's wife in fact the dress looked like something a middle aged soccer mom would wear to church

She quickly looked behind her toward her bags "I think-I think I packed another dress"

"Can I see it?" He asked hoping it wasn't as ill fitting as this one she jogged back to her bag

She nodded and scrambled to her bag trying to find another dress

She felt like she was going to disappoint Harry if she didn't have something better, to be fair she only bought the dress because it was cheap and could be worn at work

She pulled out a black dress with a bandage wrap pencil skirt that went almost all the way to her underbust the top portion was glittering lace with a deep v-neck made by the fabric folding over itself with short tee shirt like sleeves she held it up it was more casual in her opinion but it was up to Harry, he's the rich man he'd know what his wife would look like if he had one

She showed it to Harry "how's this?"

He nodded "so much better" he nodded "let me unzip you and you can change into that" she spun around and let him unzip her she closed the door and quickly tugged off her dress slipping the other one on

She opened it again "better?"

"Immensely" she let out a small sigh of relief she grabbed her purse they walked out as they stood in the elevator he grabbed her hand holding it

As it reached their floor he didn't let go they walked together into the dining room waiters were in the process of taking drink orders so they weren't exactly late

Niall held seats across from him at the end of the table pulled out her chair letting her hand go so she could take a seat she scooted herself up Harry sat tempted to take her hand again but decided against it

he looked at Niall who had the biggest sh*teating grin because he saw them holding hands Harry death glared him as a warning to not talk about it but Niall had no fear ,or well a much lower level of fear, about teasing Harry "you had to hold his hand so he didn't get lost babe?" Niall asked Alexis

She laughed "mhm and look at that we made it no wonder he hired me" 

Niall licked his lips looking toward Harry "yeah no wonder"
